First things first

Before you can access the dictionary, you have to tell me how you can view
Japanese text with your browser.
If it happens to have Japanese support built in, you can get ``raw''
Japanese via several encoding methods.

If your browser doesn't support Japanese, or if you think it might
if only you had the proper fonts, check the lower parts of
this page.

Otherwise, you'll have to make due with the (much slower) "image method"
(if you have a graphical browser -- there is text-only support
otherwise).
If you're not sure if you have built in support or not, try viewing these
samples of each encoding.

Choose from the following
among (but note that your other customized selections will remain unchanged)
to enter the dictionary server system. Once you're there, you can customize
all kinds of things to your liking, perhaps saving the resulting link so that
you don't have to go through this gateway in the future.
